I'm reading through Waltz's Theory of International Politics, since I've decided that - although I heavily disagree with it - I'm going to write on it for my final paper for my World Politics class. Despite how much I don't buy Waltz's theory overall, I cannot deny that he has been widely influential in the realm of international relations. Even if he has been widely misused, as well. I probably will actually talk about that in my paper.
Still, I am unsure as to how I'm going to structure it. As of now, I've only been preparing for the paper - trying to organize my notes and stuff in one document. Right now, I'm just skimming through and writing down quotes I think are important. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time. Fortunately, it allows me to review the book's main points without actually having to reread the whole thing. (Which is awesome, because this book is unbelievably dry. I don't think I'd be able to read the whole thing again already.)
Right now, my desk in my office is decorated with Christmas stuff, two memes, and too many song lyrics. It's sad and loser-ish of me to surround myself with lyrics, but they're usually kind of important to me. Or I just really like them. Like, I have a part of "A Better Place, A Better Time" up, for example. That's one of many, though. Sadly, I listen to songs and want more and more of them up on my wall in my office.
I kind of like it, even if, at the same time, I find it somewhat pretentious/weird.
[Edit] - I kind of hate myself for still being unable to listen to certain songs because they were on that stupid cd.
